Officials said the CBI questioned Ramakrishna for three consecutive days and conducted searches at his residence. He said that she was not cooperating with the investigation and was not giving proper response. Apart from the CBI, a senior psychologist of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory also questioned him.
The psychologist had also come to the conclusion that the agency was left with no option but to arrest him. A special CBI court on Saturday rejected his anticipatory bail plea.
The scam against a Delhi-based stockbroker is under investigation since 2018. The alleged misuse of office by the then top officials of NSE came to the fore following a report by SEBI. On February 25, the CBI had arrested Anand Subramaniam, a former operating officer of the NSE group, after expanding its probe into the scam at the exchange following “fresh facts” in a SEBI report.
